Fixed my base health, thanks for pointing that out! Also I believe you had a Stewardess disappear from your board, is it attacking or patrolling or neither?
The Stewardess I played was killed by your Brave Knight the turn I played it.

Okay, tech 1 survives, Iām rolling in cards now and drew fantastically into the Judgement day, giving me total command of the board. This should be cake to finish from here. He canāt even get Prynn out to cast that Undo. I considered going flashy and stealing the Void Star with Community Service, but then he could Undo it 
Oh well, you donāt get to use every card you tech in. It was there in case of fire
[/details]
Sorry for the delay. Work got pretty busy and I got my physical deluxe set today, so I havenāt been at my computer with free time. Iāll pick this back up sometime tomorrow 
No worries mate, jelly your box came! Iām hoping I at least get a shipping confirmation this week 
[details=Thoughts]Oh right. Judgment.
There goes all that fancy board state I had. Letās just throw some blockers out and hope for the best next turn. This is probably the end. If Max and Tech 2 both survive, I get a hasty Void Star. I can also possibly get a Flagstone Garrison, which would be nifty.[/details]

GG WP! Peace machine is pretty strong, that Judgement Day really sealed the deal though, a bit of a lucky draw for me!
The decision to go future was perhaps a bit risky, I had a Community Service in the deck and nearly went for the steal on a Void star, but Judgement day was enough to clear the way. I think Present may have been a better choice to catch me in a setup period of my Garrisons, but overall nice job!
I forgot how nuts Bigbyās spells are. I definitely misplayed a few things here. I could have grabbed Origin Story to deal with his levels or Assimilate to grab one of your Garrisons. I also could have played Nullcraft turn 1 and patrolled on Elite to prevent a lot of early game shenanigans from your Aven (a suggestion in a PM from @zhavier after I had already not done that).
Itās good to see Blue win a few after Iāve had such difficulty with it. Purple was the color I was most excited for initially, but I think Iāll put a hold on it and come back once I have more experience. It requires some amount of finesse that I havenāt figured out yet.
Thanks for the games! Now to go review all your techs and thoughts
Purple and Blue are the hardest colors, imo. Blue requires you to make a lot of judgement calls about what your opponent is up to, moreso than other colors I think.
That nullcraft in elite play i suggested was a pure defensive move that would not have held up long term. In purple, targeted spells for picking on illusions are basically Vortoss Emblem and Now!. Emblem would have been a fun way to deal with hounds and aven, especially if you assimilated a garrison to help mitigate the card cost.

Assimilating a Garrison definitely would have been a huge detriment to my game, I always neglect how nasty Assimilate is.
Happy to start another series if youāre interested, just name what specs you want us to play. Thanks for the games @StrixVaria!
I think the fall tournament starts tomorrow, and more than one game at a time on the forum is an intimidating prospect for now. Soon, though!
